Stanley Taekwondo Club held a belt promotional on Nov. 15. Grady Klingler was promoted from yellow belt to advanced yellow belt. Above, Grady is tested by Ben Forsgren as instructor Pat Russell observes. He was tested on the performance of his blocks, kicks and stances. Testing also requires that the student show knowledge of a new form each time he or she is promoted. Grady did well in demonstrating his forms and several other types of self-defense moves that are part of tae kwon do. Stanley Taekwondo classes meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at Stanley School. Instructor Pat Russell can be reached at 208-774-2264.
